My creative writing students and I are wondering if @StephenKing was inspired by e. e. cummins goat-footed balloon man [in just spring] when writing IT? Just thinking Pennywise isn’t the first creepy balloon man

FML moments: students using AI to write essays on AI. Currently exhausted and spending more time catching the cheating than students spent in the first place. #TeachingEnglish #ChatGPT

@writesloud Pretty much. Those gateway classes carry a huge responsibility in my mind. I’m trying to set my students up for success so they’ll be around to take creative writing from me! But really so that they will succeed, full stop. It’s homeroom.

@pankisseskafka School i went to had some sort of Greek system but it was almost underground it was so unimportant. Same with my grad school. But that’s life in the Wild West. Most people were like Phi Sigma IDGAF so it impacted me not at all. Not as a student or TA

@DontVoteSplit @GrandMatriarch @jubunnies They can but COVID isn’t

@postcardsfrmv If I remember it’s Vardaman that makes the least sense. Isn’t he the one that says my mother is a fish. Jewel’s mother is a horse? Most will make sense if you keep going. Some won’t. Because little kids don’t make sense to adults.

@kate_mckean The Scene Book and The Last Draft, both by Sandra Scofield, are excellent. Also digging @mdbell79’s Refuse to be Done

Looking for recent novel (literary fiction) with any combo of these elements: widow, rescue dog, unhoused, veteran, PTSD, found family #amquerying

@jej_sen @SolsticeMFA 2/2 The only thing I hated about it was my job got in the way—and the so did the pandemic, but we kept going virtually. If you are thinking about a program, check out @SolsticeMFA

[Rhonda McDonnell @doc_rhonda]

@jej_sen 1/2 I went to @SolsticeMFA when I was in my 50s and it was, by far, my favorite degree. Loved it so much more than my PhD. My workshop group is now my writing group because it was that amazing as an experience.
